Welcome to the Sacramento Startup Digest!
Congratulations to the 32 startups who were selected for the next round of Capitalize (over 80 startups applied)! The finalists will be competing tomorrow in an invite-only Pitch contest. The final four companies will pitch to Kings fans at Sleep Train Arena during the April 5 game against the Portland Trailblazers. Kings fans will choose the top pitch via Twitter. The top pick wins $5,000, consulting sessions and lunch with Kings executives and team owner Vivek Ranadivé. There are still tickets available for the game — come on out and support our tech community!
It’s a light week for Startup focused events but your best bet is Beer & Geeks at the Red Rabbit this Thursday. It’s a free no-host event — come on out, buy yourself a drink and get to know other tech enthusiasts in the region.
If you’ve been wondering what coworking is all about, you can “test-drive” it at Hacker Lab Wednesday morning and InnoGrove Wednesday afternoon. Just stop in during the posted hours and get a taste of the coworking life.
For those of you Spring-breaking this week — have a blast! For those of you observing Holy Week — Blessed Easter!
